ABSTRACT
The aim of our chapter is to provide our readers with a comprehensive model of the stages of video workflow and their affiliated work practices, and with a road map of present and future technologies that support these practices. We situate the contributions provided by the chapters of this section of our volume within this workflow framework. Armed with this orienteering guide for video workflow, the reader should have a sense of the sociotechnical context of digital video and its affiliated technologies that they will be able to leverage today and anticipate in the years ahead. It is important to understand not only the epistemological and representational issues involving research video, in applications of video research on peer, family, and informal learning, and on classroom and teacher learning—but to recognize and to use productively the advances that are enabling and transforming video workflow practices for the work that we do as learning scientists.
